Soaring temperatures and hectic election campaigning took their toll on senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader and Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, who collapsed on the dais after suffering a bout of dizziness midway during his speech in Maharashtra’s Yavatmal district on Wednesday.
Mr. Gadkari was speaking at Pusad in Yavatmal while campaigning for Rajashri Patil of the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena and the ruling Mahayuti’s candidate for the Yavatmal-Washim Lok Sabha constituency.
